| Eric Betoni is a creative entrepreneur, jewelry maker, handbag designer, artist and workout inspirator. Eric grew up in Northern New Mexico amid the complex network of checkerboard reservation land. Inspired by indigenous landscapes and reservation life unique to all tribes, Eric creates art that speaks not only to pictorial narratives but also to a higher degree of actualization for indigenous women, men, children and families. Eric has created earrings out of a variety of materials, including elk, cow and deer hide, paint and pencil. He has designed apparel with catchy sayings from his personal experience with weight lifting and his journey toward healthy holistic living. His handbags have pictorial narratives inspired by regalia worn by his son. However, the biggest influence for his work comes from his interpretation of his lifestyle known as Reborn Lifestyle. His vision is for his art and work to be narratives that speak to collectors uniquely and originally, as each work of art he creates is never duplicated. |
